After watching the premiere episode of the Apple TV+ showbiz seriesThe Studio , I would genuinely love to seeMartin Scorsese ’s scrap " Kool - Aid " motion-picture show . looker who turn into the two - episode premiere ofThe Studio , the ego - automatic Hollywood lampoon serial by co - creatorsSeth Rogen and Evan Goldberg , witnessed legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese dally himself , pitch Seth Rogen ’s Matt Remick – the unexpected new head of Continental Studios – a movie based on the infamous Jonestown cult slaughter .

InThe Studioepisode 1 , Scorsese in the beginning came to Seth on one of the first day of his young job as the head of Continental Studios with a auction pitch for a movie based on the ill-famed Jonestown cult and aggregative murder . While Scorsese is best known for his gangster picture show , such asGoodfellasandThe Departed , he ’s alsodirected several movies with religious or spiritual idea , such asSilence , Kundun , andThe Last Temptation of Christ . Given his unique skill as a movie maker , a Scorsese Jonestown movie legitimately sounds great .
Scorsese does n’t go too to a great extent into the plot of his Jonestown flick with Matt . It ’s evident , however , that the film would be a naturalistic and authentic personation of the real - life disaster that occurred on November 18 , 1978 , in which more than 900 people died by suicide from drinking yield punch spike with cyanide . Scorsese was eyeing Steve Buscemi ( Fargo , Boardwalk Empire ) to act the cult leader Jim Jones , who founded the Peoples Temple and endeavour to make a Zion outside the established order of society .

Despite Being A Kool-Aid Gag, A Jonestown Movie From Scorsese Would Probably Be Great
His Numerous Spiritual/Religious Projects Hint That A Jonestown Movie Could Work
Scorsese ’s simultaneous Jonestown movie pitch work perfectly for Matt , who mainly got promoted to be the header of Continental Studios if he agreed to make a franchise Kool - care movie . While Griffin Mill ( Bryan Cranston ) was hoping to makeKool - Aidthe nextBarbie , Matt adjudicate to be cagey by titling Scorsese ’s film " Kool - Aid"given the nature of the Jonestown tragedy .
While Scorsese is not actually work on a Kool - help movie , and the whole concept was imply for a gag inThe Studioepisode 1 , I ’m certain he would do a howling job on the unsettling subject .
Matt actualise that he had to drink down Scorsese ’s Jonestown movieafter buy it for $ 10 million to avoid a negative connotation with " Kool - Aid " even though another pop punch drink at the metre , Flavor Aid , was actually used in the real - life tragedy . While Scorsese is not in reality working on a Kool - tending picture , and the whole construct was meant for a joke inThe Studioepisode 1 , I ’m sure he would do a fantastic caper on the unsettling subject . Scorsese ’s next project is expected to be either an adjustment ofThe Devil in the White City , a Frank Sinatra biopic star Leonardo DiCaprio , or a moving picture based on Jesus Christ .
